このような照明装置は、サイリスタ制御の白熱灯や、LED等の半導体発光素子を発光源とするもの等が採用されているが、これらの場合、被写体に向けて発光する発光光量を適正に制御しないと、近距離撮影の場合、被写体の照度が明るすぎて周囲光とのバランスが崩れ、被写体画像の画質が低下するとともに不要なエネルギーを浪費してしまう。   Such lighting devices employ thyristor-controlled incandescent lamps or light sources that use semiconductor light-emitting elements such as LEDs. In these cases, the amount of light emitted toward the subject is controlled appropriately. Otherwise, in the case of short-distance shooting, the illuminance of the subject is too bright and the balance with the ambient light is lost, and the image quality of the subject image is degraded and unnecessary energy is wasted.

また、遠距離撮影の場合には、被写体の照度が暗くてやはり被写体画像の画質が低下する等の不都合が生じる。   Further, in the case of long-distance shooting, there are inconveniences such that the illuminance of the subject is dark and the image quality of the subject image is lowered.

A light emission drive circuit for generating, a switching signal generation circuit for generating a signal for switching the LED between a light emission mode and a light reception mode, a light reception signal when the LED is in a light reception mode by the switching signal, and the brightness setting An LED automatic dimming device configured to control the light emission drive circuit according to the difference signal from the difference signal generating circuit, and a difference signal generating circuit that generates a difference signal from a setting signal from the circuit. Proposed.

この特許文献1の場合、LEDを発光源及び受光源として使用するため、構成の簡略化を図れるものの、LEDを連続発光状態とした場合にはこのLEDを受光源として機能させることができず、被写体の撮影時に使用する照明装置として不向きである。   In the case of this Patent Document 1, since the LED is used as a light emitting source and a light receiving source, the configuration can be simplified, but when the LED is in a continuous light emitting state, this LED cannot be functioned as a light receiving source. It is not suitable as a lighting device used when photographing a subject.

図1乃至図5を参照して本発明の実施例に係るLED自動調光照明装置11について説明する。   With reference to FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 5, the LED automatic light control illumination apparatus 11 which concerns on the Example of this invention is demonstrated.

本実施例1に係るLED自動調光照明装置11は、図1、図3に示すように、被写体Mの照明用の可視光を発光する例えば6個のLED(発光ダイオード)1乃至6を基板19上に列設したLED発光部12と、前記LED発光部12を発光駆動する例えば前記LED1乃至6に対応するトランジスタ回路からなる6個の電子スイッチを内蔵するとともに、6個のLED1乃至6の各カソードが接続され、前記LED1乃至6の発光個数を可変としたLED発光駆動部13と、被写体Mの照度レベル(例えば、明、中、暗等)を設定する例えばキー入力式の照度レベル設定部14と、被写体Mに向けて配置され、その照度を検出する例えばフォトトランジスタを用いた光センサ15と、この光センサ15の検出信号を増幅する増幅回路16と、前記照度レベル設定部14により設定する照度レベルの信号と、前記光センサ15が検出する照度の信号とを比較し、比較結果に応じて前記LED発光駆動部13の発光駆動制御を行い、前記LED発光部12のLED発光個数を増減させて発光光量を設定した被写体Mの照度レベルに適合させる制御部17と、前記6個のLED1乃至6の各アノードに陽極を接続し、陰極を接地した直流電源18と、を有している。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the LED automatic dimming illumination device 11 according to the first embodiment has, for example, six LEDs (light emitting diodes) 1 to 6 that emit visible light for illuminating the subject M as substrates. 19 includes an LED light emitting unit 12 arranged on the line 19 and six electronic switches including, for example, transistor circuits corresponding to the LEDs 1 to 6 that drive the LED light emitting unit 12 to emit light. An LED emission drive unit 13 to which each cathode is connected and the number of emitted LEDs 1 to 6 is variable, and an illuminance level setting (for example, bright, medium, dark, etc.) of the subject M is set. An optical sensor 15 that is disposed toward the subject M and detects the illuminance thereof, for example, using a phototransistor, and an amplification circuit 16 that amplifies a detection signal of the optical sensor 15. The illuminance level signal set by the illuminance level setting unit 14 is compared with the illuminance signal detected by the optical sensor 15, and the light emission drive control of the LED light emission drive unit 13 is performed according to the comparison result, and the LED A controller 17 that adjusts the illuminance level of the subject M by increasing or decreasing the number of LEDs emitted from the light emitting unit 12 and setting the amount of emitted light, and a direct current in which anodes are connected to the anodes of the six LEDs 1 to 6 and the cathodes are grounded. And a power source 18.

前記直流電源18は、図示していないが、前記LED発光駆動部13、増幅回路16、制御部17の各動作に必要な電力供給を行うように構成している。   Although not shown, the DC power source 18 is configured to supply power necessary for the operations of the LED light emission drive unit 13, the amplifier circuit 16, and the control unit 17.

前記制御部17は、図2に示すように、前記照度レベル設定部14からの照度レベルの信号を記憶する記憶部21と、前記照度レベルの信号と、前記光センサ15が検出する照度の信号とを比較し、例えばその差に応じた1個、3個、6個等のようなパルス信号を出力する比較信号出力部22と、比較信号出力部22からのパルス信号に応じてLED発光駆動部13の6個の電子スイッチを個別にオン、オフさせる制御信号を出力する制御信号出力部23と、を具備している。   As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 17 stores the illuminance level signal from the illuminance level setting unit 14, the illuminance level signal, and the illuminance signal detected by the optical sensor 15. And, for example, a comparison signal output unit 22 that outputs a pulse signal such as one, three, six, etc. according to the difference, and LED emission driving according to the pulse signal from the comparison signal output unit 22 And a control signal output unit 23 that outputs control signals for individually turning on and off the six electronic switches of the unit 13.

前記比較信号出力部22は、例えば、前記照度レベルの信号と、前記光センサ15が検出する照度の信号との差が小の場合、1個のパルス信号を出力し、前記差が中の場合、3個のパルス信号を出力し、前記差が大の場合、6個のパルス信号を出力するように構成している。   For example, when the difference between the illuminance level signal and the illuminance signal detected by the optical sensor 15 is small, the comparison signal output unit 22 outputs one pulse signal, and the difference is medium. Three pulse signals are output, and when the difference is large, six pulse signals are output.

前記制御信号出力部23は、前記比較信号出力部22からの各パルス信号に応じてLED発光駆動部13に制御信号を出力する。   The control signal output unit 23 outputs a control signal to the LED light emission drive unit 13 in accordance with each pulse signal from the comparison signal output unit 22.

すなわち、前記制御信号出力部23は、比較信号出力部22から1個のパルス信号に応じてLED発光駆動部13の前記LED1に接続した電子スイッチをオン制御し、3個のパルス信号に応じてLED発光駆動部13の前記LED1乃至3に接続した各電子スイッチをオン制御し、6個のパルス信号に応じてLED発光駆動部13の前記LED1乃至3に接続した各電子スイッチをオン制御する。   That is, the control signal output unit 23 controls to turn on an electronic switch connected to the LED 1 of the LED light emission drive unit 13 according to one pulse signal from the comparison signal output unit 22 and according to three pulse signals. The electronic switches connected to the LEDs 1 to 3 of the LED light emission drive unit 13 are turned on, and the electronic switches connected to the LEDs 1 to 3 of the LED light emission drive unit 13 are turned on according to six pulse signals.

次に、本実施例1に係るLED自動調光照明装置11の作用、効果について、図3乃至図5をも参照して説明する。   Next, operations and effects of the LED automatic dimming illumination device 11 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

本実施例1に係るLED自動調光照明装置11を、例えばカメラによる被写体Mの撮影時の照明装置として使用する場合に、撮影者が例えば照度レベル設定部14により被写体Mの照度レベルを「中」に設定したものとする。この照度レベルの信号は前記記憶部21に記憶される。   When the LED automatic dimming illumination device 11 according to the first embodiment is used as, for example, an illumination device at the time of photographing the subject M with a camera, the photographer sets the illuminance level of the subject M to “medium” by, for example, the illuminance level setting unit 14 ”. The signal of the illuminance level is stored in the storage unit 21.

一方、前記光センサ15により検出された被写体Mの当初の照度の信号は、増幅回路16により増幅され、前記比較信号出力部22に伝送される。   On the other hand, an initial illuminance signal of the subject M detected by the optical sensor 15 is amplified by the amplifier circuit 16 and transmitted to the comparison signal output unit 22.

前記比較信号出力部22は、前記照度レベルの信号と、前記光センサ15からの照度の信号とを比較しその差が小の場合、1個のパルス信号を出力し、制御信号出力部23は1個のパルス信号が入力されるとLED発光駆動部13の前記LED1に接続した電子スイッチをオン制御する。これにより、前記LED発光部12のLED1のみが発光し、被写体Mを照明する。以上の動作が連続的に繰り返される。   The comparison signal output unit 22 compares the illuminance level signal with the illuminance signal from the optical sensor 15 and outputs a single pulse signal when the difference is small. The control signal output unit 23 When one pulse signal is input, the electronic switch connected to the LED 1 of the LED light emission drive unit 13 is turned on. Thereby, only LED1 of the said LED light emission part 12 light-emits, and the to-be-photographed object M is illuminated. The above operation is continuously repeated.

このようなLED自動調光照明装置11の動作は、例えば図3に示すように前記LED発光部12及び前記光センサ15と、被写体Mとの距離が近距離の場合において有効であり、被写体Mの撮影時における被写体照度の一定化を実現し得るとともに、LED発光部12の他のLED2乃至6の不要な点灯を無くすことができ省エネルギー化を図ることができる。   Such an operation of the LED automatic dimming illumination device 11 is effective when the distance between the LED light emitting unit 12 and the light sensor 15 and the subject M is short as shown in FIG. The illuminance of the subject at the time of shooting can be made constant, and unnecessary lighting of the other LEDs 2 to 6 of the LED light emitting unit 12 can be eliminated, thereby saving energy.

次に、上述した本実施例1に係るLED自動調光照明装置11の動作において、前記比較信号出力部22が、前記照度レベルの信号と、前記光センサ15からの照度の信号とを比較しその差が中と判定した場合、3個のパルス信号を出力し、制御信号出力部23は3個のパルス信号が入力されるとLED発光駆動部13の前記LED1乃至3に接続した各電子スイッチをオン制御する。これにより、前記LED発光部12のLED1乃至3のみが発光し、被写体Mを照明する。以上の動作が連続的に繰り返される。   Next, in the operation of the LED automatic dimming illumination device 11 according to the first embodiment described above, the comparison signal output unit 22 compares the illuminance level signal with the illuminance signal from the optical sensor 15. When it is determined that the difference is medium, three pulse signals are output, and when the three pulse signals are input, the control signal output unit 23 connects each of the electronic switches connected to the LEDs 1 to 3 of the LED light emission drive unit 13. Turn on the control. Accordingly, only the LEDs 1 to 3 of the LED light emitting unit 12 emit light and illuminate the subject M. The above operation is continuously repeated.

このようなLED自動調光照明装置11の動作は、例えば図4に示すように前記LED発光部12及び前記光センサ15と、被写体Mとの距離が中距離の場合において有効であり、被写体Mの撮影時における被写体照度の一定化を実現し得るとともに、LED発光部12の他のLED4乃至6の不要な点灯を無くすことができ省エネルギー化を図ることができる。   Such an operation of the LED automatic dimming illumination device 11 is effective when the distance between the LED light emitting unit 12 and the light sensor 15 and the subject M is a medium distance as shown in FIG. The illuminance of the subject at the time of shooting can be made constant, and unnecessary lighting of the other LEDs 4 to 6 of the LED light emitting unit 12 can be eliminated, thereby saving energy.

次に、上述した本実施例1に係るLED自動調光照明装置11の動作において、前記比較信号出力部22が、前記照度レベルの信号と、前記光センサ15からの照度の信号とを比較しその差が大と判定した場合、6個のパルス信号を出力し、制御信号出力部23は6個のパルス信号が入力されるとLED発光駆動部13の前記LED1乃至6に接続した各電子スイッチをオン制御する。これにより、前記LED発光部12のLED1乃至6が発光し、被写体Mを最大光量で照明する。以上の動作が連続的に繰り返される。   Next, in the operation of the LED automatic dimming illumination device 11 according to the first embodiment described above, the comparison signal output unit 22 compares the illuminance level signal with the illuminance signal from the optical sensor 15. When it is determined that the difference is large, six pulse signals are output, and when the six pulse signals are input, the control signal output unit 23 is connected to the LEDs 1 to 6 of the LED light emission drive unit 13. Turn on the control. As a result, the LEDs 1 to 6 of the LED light emitting unit 12 emit light and illuminate the subject M with the maximum light amount. The above operation is continuously repeated.

このようなLED自動調光照明装置11の動作は、例えば図5に示すように前記LED発光部12及び前記光センサ15と、被写体Mとの距離が遠距離の場合において有効である。   Such an operation of the LED automatic dimming illumination device 11 is effective when the distance between the LED light emitting unit 12 and the light sensor 15 and the subject M is a long distance as shown in FIG.

次に、図6乃至図10を参照して本発明の実施例2に係るLED自動調光照明装置11Aについて説明する。   Next, an LED automatic dimming illumination device 11A according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

本実施例2に係るLED自動調光照明装置11Aは、基本的構成は図6に示すように実施例1のLED自動調光照明装置11の場合と同様であるため同一の要素には同一の符号を付して示す。   Since the LED automatic dimming / illuminating device 11A according to the second embodiment has the same basic configuration as the LED automatic dimming / illuminating device 11 according to the first embodiment as shown in FIG. It shows with a code | symbol.

本実施例2のLED自動調光照明装置11Aが既述した実施例1のLED自動調光照明装置11と異なる点は、図6に示すLED発光駆動部13Aに、例えば各LED1乃至6に対応する6個の可変抵抗回路を組み込み、常時通電状態で各LED1乃至6に流れる発光電流を増減可能な構成としたこと、また、制御部17Aにより、前記照度レベル設定部14により設定する被写体Mの照度レベル(例えば、明、中、暗)と、前記光センサ15が検出する照度とを比較し、比較結果に応じて発光電流が流れるLED発光駆動部13Aにおける6個の可変抵抗回路の抵抗値を大、中、小に変更する電流制御のための制御信号を出力し、各LED1乃至6の発光電流を小、中、大に変更し、これにより各LED1乃至6の総発光光量を設定した被写体Mの照度レベル(暗、中、明のいずれか)に適合させるようにしたことである。   The LED automatic dimming / illuminating device 11A according to the second embodiment is different from the LED automatic dimming / illuminating device 11 according to the first embodiment described above with respect to the LED light emission driving unit 13A illustrated in FIG. 6 variable resistance circuits are incorporated so that the light emission currents flowing through the LEDs 1 to 6 can be increased or decreased in a constantly energized state, and the object M set by the illuminance level setting unit 14 is controlled by the control unit 17A. The illuminance level (for example, bright, medium, dark) is compared with the illuminance detected by the optical sensor 15, and the resistance values of the six variable resistance circuits in the LED light emission driver 13A in which the light emission current flows according to the comparison result.

Illuminate. The above operation is continuously repeated.

このようなLED自動調光照明装置11Aの動作は、例えば図9に示すように前記LED発光部12及び前記光センサ15と、被写体Mとの距離が中距離の場合において有効であり、被写体Mの撮影時における被写体照度の一定化を実現し得るとともに、各LED1乃至6の消費電力もフル発光の場合よりも低減され省エネルギー化を図ることができる。   Such an operation of the LED automatic dimming / illuminating device 11A is effective when the distance between the LED light emitting unit 12 and the light sensor 15 and the subject M is a medium distance as shown in FIG. The subject illuminance at the time of shooting can be made constant, and the power consumption of each of the LEDs 1 to 6 can be reduced as compared with the case of full light emission, thereby saving energy.

Is determined to be large, the control unit 17A sends a control signal for reducing the resistance values of the six variable resistance circuits to the LED light emission drive unit 13B.

これにより、LED発光駆動部13Bの6個の可変抵抗回路の抵抗値は小となり、各LED1乃至6の発光電流は図7下欄に示すように大(フル発光)となって、大発光量で被写体Mを照明する。以上の動作が連続的に繰り返される。   As a result, the resistance values of the six variable resistance circuits of the LED light emission drive unit 13B become small, and the light emission currents of the LEDs 1 to 6 become large (full light emission) as shown in the lower column of FIG. Illuminate the subject M. The above operation is continuously repeated.
